National Puppy Day was celebrated by dog lovers across the country yesterday.
As part of the celebrations we invited readers of The Northern Echo to submit pictures of their four-footed friends - and we were overwhelmed by the response.
Here are a selection of the many adorable photographs you sent in. Can you spot your pet among the 49 pictures here?
